Just came here to say that I followed this advice exactly and I absolutely crushed my friends ceremony this weekend, so much so that the step mothers sister asked me to officiate her wedding! I had guests coming up to me all night saying how great of a job I did. Couldn’t have done it without your advice. Thank you!

I took your advice and nailed it. I received many compliments. A 10 year old asked if I "went to school for 5 or 10 years to learn that". Video posted. I'd do it again.
Your video was a huge help, thank you so much! It helped me as I prepared for my first wedding. Love the suggestions of marking your script with pauses with the vows and telling them to wait to put the rings on. I got the tears during the ceremony and the shock when people found out that this was truly the first time I had officiated a wedding. Truly appreciate all of the advice you shared!
As a full-time marriage officer I enjoyed this video. I am a licensed marriage officer in South Africa with approximately 1,800 wedding ceremonies under the belt. In South Africa you must be ordained but then your church denomination must also recommend you to the governmental department of Home Affairs where you must right a legal exam and if you achieve 80%+ on the exam then the department of Home Affairs issue you with a certificate of appointment as a marriage officer. I can still clearly recall how nervous I was on my first wedding but with time you build up confidence. To the first timers: Prepare well and push thru and in a short while you will do the marriage ceremonies with full confidence.
I have been asked to perform my nieces wedding, 6 weeks from now. This is the first wedding video I have watched. Your tips are excellent! Great video! Thank you! GBL
Came here to say that this dudes advice is spot on. I became ordained because my friends wanted me to officiate their punk rock/emo themed wedding a few months back. I am zero percent religious and had no idea what I was doing. So I watched this video and just did exactly what the dude said and threw in a couple of one liners and it went off without a problem! Good stuff mate !
@@theislandmike You would be surprised. A lot of people in the punk rock community are sober, so it wasn’t quite the wild ride that you might expect. It was actually pretty classy, if you can imagine it.
Thank you! I’ve been honored with the opportunity to officiate my little sister and soon to be brother in law’s wedding next year. I’ve subscribed to your page and look forward to learning the BEST way to nail this amazing position on their very special day!
I really loved this video! I think it will be really helpful! I signed up for an online officiant license. They asked me if I wanted to order the documents to have a hard copy. I was wondering if that is necessary or just filling out the documents is enough? Also I live in Ohio but the wedding will be in Colorado. Do you know if I should get licensed in Colorado too or if one license covers every state?
@@Cece-wz4op *Look up the law regarding officiants in Colorado, what I have found is that it does not matter where you live it is still valid. In fact you would probably be hard pressed to find an online officiant ordination in Colorado. I don't think anyone will ask to see your paperwork but it would be nice to have as a memory on the wall. Good luck!*
This is the best wedding ceremony officiant video that I have ever seen. I am performing my first wedding. Our best friends daughter. Thank you for the advice! Great video!
Been a very long time since I officiated a wedding. Ordained in 2001, but recently a officiate bailed on a friends kid and she needs a last minute officiate. I'm never one to turn down a challenge. Was looking for a refresh... thanks for your video. had a good laugh too. ;)
Dude, you rock. Seriously great advice and so well delivered. Thanks for injecting so much personality in this, you were exactly what I was looking for!
My boyfriends cousin asked me to officiate her wedding and I appreciate your videos so much. It helped me to prepare and to still prepare. YOU ARE APPRECIATED
Awesome! I just got my cert & the big day is sat. So I'm cramming. This videos helps relieve some concerns. Also tips that I never thought of. Thank you!
This is awesome and super helpful! I’m single, no girlfriend or anything, so I’m gonna store this info for the next few years or decades. If I ever get married I’ll come back to this comment.
I saw your video today for the first time and found it to be so helpful. I am an officant but have never performed a ceremony. I don't even know how to get started. Do you have any suggestions, I have very limited funds to start with. Anything advice you offer will be appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Ive been asked by my daughter to officiate the wedding . This is my 1st time doing this with your suggestions and other helps I think I got this. The only thing I have a question about is when it comes to giving her away how would you suggest I do this.
Excellent advice. Thank you so much for your tutorial as I will be officiating my cousin’s wedding in a month. I’m a high school teacher so public speaking is a breeze for me, but outside of family funerals I’ve yet to address this type of crowd. Looking forward to the big day.
You are the best !! Just enjoyed and learned so much from you. Tomorrow Saturday. I have been request ed to officiate one it my first time 😢. You nailed it
New Officiant here! Need some advice as to when do you have the couple and witnesses SIGN the marriage license. Also, do you have a marriage certificate there as well that the couple will take home with them. Where you are from, who returns the license back to the county clerk’s office, the couple or the minister?
Hey Anita, not all jurisdiction require the couple to sign at the ceremony - some states/counties have the couple sign at the courthouse when they pick up the license. But assuming they have to sign it at the wedding, I try to do it immediately after the ceremony. Things can get a little hectic with photos, cake, dances, etc. So there's a magical moment just seconds/minutes after the kiss where you can round the couple up. Be tough, be assertive and get it done otherwise you might be stuck listening to a rambling, 30-minute best man speech. :) I almost always return the license back to the clerk's office as part of the service I provide my clients. 2 reasons: 1.) The clients love not having to go back to the clerk's office and will therefore love you more. 2.) I get to show my face at the office - you might get referrals from the clerks on occasion.
Man! Thank you SO much for these tips, you just boosted my confidence. Ive been asked to perform my Aunts wedding. Im so honored but scared to death, lol. I appreciate this!
I have watched many other videos on this topic, and I must say, your style of explaining is one of the bests I have seen. Please post more videos. We would love to learn from you!! Thank you...
Thank you so much for the advice! One of my best friends is starting to consider asking his girlfriend to marry him and he wants me to be the one to officiate the wedding. All of what you said here has been very illuminating!
That's great news! I hope his proposal is better than mine - we were watching Boston Legal on a weeknight and I had to get up to go home and was walking out the door when I finally got up the nerve to do it. I was a nervous wreck. Anyhow, I guess the proposal isn't as important as you performing the most awesome ceremony ever. Good luck to you both!
Your site is excellent. I am so glad I found this and am really enjoying learning your methods. Thank you for the hours of creating, experience and special information that you shared for those of us who have no idea how much there is involved in creating a successful wedding ceremony.
@@BP-cu6mi no I didn’t. I went through all the articles and niow am looking at videos as well. I have done public speaking and have spoken at funerals. So this was a new venue. His information though is excellent.
Thank you! I have questions; 1. What to wear (as a woman I don't want to overshadow the bride), 2. Do you have ID cards, business cards and what should they say?
Im an ordained minister and just got licensed to wed. Im marrying my best bro and his fiancée Thursday as my first wedding. Im scared to death. 😂😂😂 im gonna crush it, though. I'll keep looking at her mom and when i see those tears, I'll know ive made it lol.
Thank you very much for this video. I recently received my license and don't know where to begin. However, as a Notary Public, one thing crosses my mind, would I ever need to notarize something for the bride and groom because they simply forgot to do some paper work? This might not even make sense, but would I be able to both perform a wedding and be their notary?
Hi Guilliana! Every jurisdiction is different but if you are performing the ceremony as the licensed officiant you shouldn't need to have the license notarized. Some jurisdictions allow either a licensed officiant or a notary but I don't know of any that require both. But definitely check with your local rules and good luck!
How much can I make range? And do I have to stay for the cocktail reception. And how long does it take from start to finish? Is it an all day event? Do you charge for the rehearsal donyou get paid upfront or after the wedding? Who usually pays the father of the bride or do you send an invoice?
"If today's Friday, and tomorrow's the wedding, you have a little cramming to do..." That literally me, right now. I actually have most the script written out... just polishing it now.
Thanks for the tips and effort in making this video! I used some of the advice you gave to officiate my brother's wedding over the weekend and everyone said I killed!! I literally said at one point, "Or at least youtube said I could be sure I wouldn't ruin this one!" It was a hit haha, thanks again!
I love this. But How do I know what to charge? and do I charge for rehearsal as well? I am officiated for a few years now, and some of my friends think I should do it. Bc they say I am a natural haha well... Anywho its the charging, length of travel, so many questions I have. But this is a good start
Charge $200 to start. I wouldn't get all crazy and complicated with adding on additional fees for travel, Etc. In the beginning your priority should be in building your brand, your experience and resume. :)
@@theislandmike That's what I thought. I get it it's another form of income. But I really did become an officiant to marry my niece;) who knows where this can lead. Okay, I appreciate you responding back.
In NJ I need to complete a civil celebrant course offered by a non-denominational or educational charitable organization that is registered with the State under the "Charitable Registration and Investigation Act. Do you qualify?
Doing my first ceremony in August. It is my son and he is marrying a wonderful women with a child from a previous marriage. I want to welcome the child to the family in a small ceremonial way. Perhaps after the couples vows. Have you aver done or heard a way to maybe have a set of vows for the child and new family or perhaps a proclamation welcome open garage the child to the new family? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!😁
I've attempted to get a hold of these guys multiple times a couple of different ways as I have not received the papers I paid for. Anyone else have issues not hearing back from them? Any tips would be appreciated.
Is there any room for stories in the process about the bride / groom / family ! I want to do something really unique for my niece. Something creative. She’s a wedding planner and I want to add something unique unique
Looking for some advice. I am officiating my oldest daughter’s wedding in a month. Wondering what would be the best way to do both the ceremony and walking her down the aisle.
